Quinonez was last seen Sunday shortly after he and a friend launched their kayaks in the Flatrock River in Columbus, 40 miles south of Indianapolis, according to the Associated Press.

Conservation Officer for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Jet Quillen, told AP that after
Quinonez and his friend launched their boats, Quninonez's kayak capsized.
Quillen said the friend pulled Quinonez to a tree, but lost his hold
and Quinonez went underwater.

Quillen said he was told by Quinonez’s friend that the man was not wearing a life jacket and could not swim.

A search for Quinonez, conducted by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, was suspended Sunday night due to darkness and will resume Monday.
